‘After Midnight’ Canceled After Two Seasons On CBS; Network Will Stop Programming 12:30am Slot
The end of the Taylor Tomlinson-led show means that CBS will no longer air original programming at 12:30am.
This comes as the likes of Oscar host Conan O’Brien, Full Frontal’s Samantha Bee, Hell of a Week’s Charlamagne Tha God and Desus & Mero have all exited the genre, while long-serving host Jimmy Kimmel, who always seem to be one contract away from ending his ABC show, said last year that he doesn’t know if “there will be any late-night television shows on network TV in ten years”. It’s also a blow when it comes to awards as the late-night Emmy race has been struggling to bring in a large enough number of nominations to warrant at least four slots after Last Week Tonight and SNL were moved to their own category. Amato and Martin executive produce along with Stephen Colbert, Carrie Byalick, Tom Purcell and Evelyn McGee Colbert of Spartina Industries; James Dixon of Dixon Talent, Joe Farrell, Mike Farah, Whitney Hodack and Henry R. Muñoz III of Funny Or Die and Jason U. Jo Firestone was co-executive producer and head writer.
